Strong acid is classified as one which dissociates completely to liberate all the H+ ions of the compound when dissolved in water.

Generally, both nitric acid and sulfuric acid are classified as strong acids. The strength of acids is measured by the acid dissociation constant (pKa). The lower the value, the stronger the acid is.

Sulfuric acid has a value of -3, while nitric acid has a value of -1.64. Thus, sulfuric acid is a stronger acid as compared to nitric acid.
